It is Sacrula de Saligao, indeed!! A few more facts on this interesting character....he buried his cycle in his front yard, sprinkling salt over it (before burying it) so it would last forever!! I'm not absolutely certain of the authenticity of this bit of info, though,....because it's one of those "handed down" stories. Also, one of his favourite preaching spots was at the entrance to the church (the compound wall) where he would preach, standing on a soap box, after a feast mass (or any other significant celebration), to anyone who would listen.
He was an interesting character, indeed.

ROTFL BTW a lil titbit of information - next year the church feast is going to be celebrated on the second Sunday of may. this has happened becuase of the late arrival of easter which impedes the celebration of the novenas which can start only after the hold week. can anyone recollect the last time the feast was celebrated on a day other than the first Sunday??? noone can remember for the last 30 yrs it has not happened at least!!! -- Kind regards Ashley Delaney Devine Computers Abreovaddo, Saligao, Bardez, Goa.
